Abstract

Methods, systems and devices are described for wireless communications that enable a base station and user equipment (UE) to identify and respond to communications in accordance with one or more communications services. For example, the base station and UE may support communications according to a wireless communications standard (eg, a third generation partnership project (3GPP) standard), in addition to supporting an additional communications service that includes one or more proprietary features. In some cases, the UE may send an indication to the base station, or the base station may otherwise determine that the UE supports proprietary features. In addition, the base station may allocate and transmit a unique radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) (eg, proprietary RNTI) to the UE for additional communication services (eg, proprietary RNTI). Accordingly, the UE and base station can identify and use the proprietary RNTI when transmitting, receiving, decoding, and responding to proprietary communication messages.

Description

Support of proprietary features in wireless communication networks

[0001] This patent application is entitled "SUPPORT OF PROPRIETARY COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS," and US Patent Application Serial No. 16/780,901, filed February 3, 2020, by HE et al. claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62/804,702 filed on February 12, 2019 by HE et al., each of which has been assigned to the assignee of the present application.

[0002] The following relates generally to wireless communications, and more specifically to support of proprietary features in wireless communications networks.

[0003] BACKGROUND Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and the like. Such systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (eg, time, frequency and power). Examples of multiple access systems are 4G (fourth generation) systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems or LTE-A Pro systems, and also New Radio (NR) systems. 5G (fifth generation) systems, which may be referred to as These systems include code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). ) can be used. A wireless multiple access communication system may include multiple base stations or network access nodes, each of which simultaneously supports communication for multiple communication devices, which may otherwise be known as user equipment (UE).

[0004] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices and apparatus for supporting proprietary features in wireless communication networks. Generally, the described techniques provide for a base station and user equipment (UE) to identify and respond to communications according to one or more proprietary characteristics of a communications service. For example, in addition to supporting one or more proprietary features of a communication service, the base station and the UE may communicate standard communications, such as communications according to a wireless communication standard (eg, third generation partnership project (3GPP) or other standard). ) can be supported. In some cases, the UE may transmit an indication to the base station (eg, via standard communications) indicating that the UE supports one or more proprietary features. In some cases, the indication may include a capability report or UE identifier (ID) for the UE, where the base station may use the UE ID to look up or otherwise determine whether the UE supports one or more proprietary features. have. In some examples, the base station may assign and transmit a unique radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) (eg, a proprietary RNTI) to the UE for a communication service associated with one or more proprietary characteristics. Accordingly, the UE and base station can identify and use the proprietary RNTI when transmitting, receiving, decoding, and responding to proprietary communication messages.

[0005] For example, the base station may transmit a downlink grant to the UE (eg, via downlink control information (DCI) or via a semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) grant), where the grant is in some cases private It may be addressed to the RNTI and may indicate a set of resources to be used for proprietary downlink messages. Accordingly, the UE may decide to receive the proprietary downlink messages indicated via the grant, and may decode the messages using the proprietary RNTI. In some cases, a base station may indicate a set of designated control resources reserved for a communication service. In some examples, the UE may decide to transmit an uplink resource request on designated resources using the proprietary RNTI, and the base station sends any message on the designated resources (eg, including the request) using the proprietary RNTI. You may decide to decode. Accordingly, the base station may respond with an uplink resource grant addressed to the UE's proprietary RNTI, and the UE may use the uplink grant to transmit proprietary uplink messages (eg, scrambled with the proprietary RNTI). In some cases, the UE may transmit the uplink resource request using standard resources (eg, scrambled with a non-proprietary RNTI, such as a cell RNTI (C-RNTI)), and the base station (eg, , addressed to the C-RNTI) may respond with a standard uplink grant. In some examples, the UE may transmit one or more uplink messages that are proprietary messages (eg, scrambled with a proprietary RNTI) using a standard uplink grant. Additionally, the base station may determine that the uplink message is private by attempting to decode the message using the respective RNTI assigned to the UE, where the base station may successfully decode the message using the private RNTI.

[0077] Wireless communication devices operating in a wireless communication network (eg, a New Radio (NR) network) may support communications according to a wireless communication standard (eg, a third generation partnership project (3GPP) standard or other standard). For example, a base station and user equipment (UE) may establish and communicate communications according to a wireless communication standard (eg, standard communications). In some cases, the UE and base station may also support communications according to one or more communication services, each including one or more proprietary features. Accordingly, the UE and base station may communicate and exchange information via standard communications to identify and accurately respond to proprietary messages and/or proprietary message formats. Additionally, the UE and the base station may communicate using a communication service comprising one or more proprietary characteristics based on information exchanged regarding the proprietary characteristics.

[0078] As used herein, proprietary features may include features that do not comply with or are not required to comply with (eg, non-mandatory, optional, etc.) a communication standard (eg, 3GPP or other wireless communication standard). For example, a proprietary message may include content or may have a format that is proprietary and thus includes proprietary characteristics. As described herein, proprietary messages or transmissions may include transmissions whose content and/or format are proprietary. A communication service that includes proprietary features may be any communication service (eg, a set of protocols, procedures, or functions for communications) that includes one or more proprietary features. For example, a base station, UE, or any other aspect of a wireless communication network may support a communication standard such as NR, and may further support one or more communication services including proprietary features. A feature may be proprietary, but aspects of a wireless communication service related to support of proprietary features may be standardized (eg, a standard provides a platform for use of proprietary features in addition to standardized features or otherwise provides a proprietary feature) may specify one or more functions that enable their use).

[0079] In some examples of standardized or otherwise implemented support for proprietary features, after establishing a standard communication link with a base station, the UE displays an indication indicating that the UE supports a communication service including one or more proprietary features (e.g., standard message) to the base station. In some cases, the indication may include one or more of an identifier (ID) unique to the UE or UE capability information (eg, indicating that the UE is capable of a particular type or types of proprietary characteristics). For example, the indication may be included in any message containing the UE ID, such as a random access message, handover message, or other type of message. If the base station receives an ID from the UE (eg, as opposed to capability information), the base station enables the UE by matching the ID with a corresponding ID from a list, table or index of IDs indicating UE capabilities for proprietary features. It can be determined whether the thought characteristics are possible.

[0080] After determining that the UE supports proprietary features, the base station may assign a unique radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) to the UE, where the RNTI may correspond to a proprietary communication service including the proprietary features (eg, a proprietary RNTI or PF). -RNTI (proprietary features RNTI). A proprietary RNTI may be specific (dedicated, unique) to a UE or to a group of UEs. In some cases, the UE may support more than one communication service including proprietary features, and the base station may assign to the UE more than one proprietary RNTI (eg, at least one proprietary RNTI for each communication service). have. In some examples, the base station may transmit a proprietary RNTI to the UE, such that the UE can use the proprietary RNTI to scramble and/or decode proprietary transmissions to and from the base station, respectively. Various forms of private transmissions (eg, private characteristics) are possible, and several non-exhaustive examples of private transmissions are given below.

[0081] As an example, the base station may send a proprietary downlink control information (DCI) message addressed to the proprietary RNTI to the UE. In some cases, the UE may attempt to decode the DCI message (eg, via a blind decoding process) using both a cell RNTI (C-RNTI) (eg, used for standard communications) and a proprietary RNTI. In some cases, the UE may successfully decode the DCI message using the proprietary RNTI, and thus may determine that the DCI message is proprietary and addressed to the proprietary RNTI. In some cases, the DCI message may include information about one or more proprietary downlink messages as well as resource grants (eg, time resources, frequency resources, code resources) for one or more downlink messages. have.

[0082] In some examples, instead of transmitting a DCI with a dynamic resource grant, the base station may transmit a grant for semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) resources to the UE, where the base station may transmit one or more SPS resources addressed to a proprietary RNTI. It may indicate that it will include proprietary downlink messages. In the case of both types of downlink grants, the base station may transmit one or more proprietary downlink messages to the UE (eg, using the corresponding grant), and the UE decodes the messages using the corresponding proprietary RNTI. can do.

[0083] In another example, the base station may indicate to the UE control resources designated for proprietary scheduling requests or other uplink control information (UCI) related to a communication service including proprietary features. Accordingly, the UE may transmit a proprietary UCI or uplink scheduling request to the base station on the designated resources. In some cases, the base station may determine that any scheduling request received over the designated resources may be associated with a communication service that includes proprietary features. Accordingly, the base station may decide to decode the scheduling request using the proprietary RNTI assigned to the UE. After decoding the scheduling request, the base station may transmit a proprietary uplink grant (eg, including resources for uplink transmissions) addressed to the private RNTI to the UE. In some examples, the UE may decode the uplink grant using the proprietary RNTI and transmit one or more proprietary uplink messages (eg, scrambled with the proprietary RNTI) to the base station using the resources indicated in the grant. The base station may receive proprietary uplink messages on the indicated resources and decode the uplink messages using the proprietary RNTI.

[0084] In a further example, the UE may transmit a non-private or standard UCI or uplink scheduling request to the base station using standard resources (eg, scrambled with the UE's C-RNTI). In some cases, the base station may receive the scheduling request and respond to the UE with an uplink grant sent on standard (eg, non-private) resources (eg, standard DCI message) addressed to the C-RNTI. The UE may receive and decode the uplink grant, and may transmit one or more uplink messages on the indicated resources, where the UE may or may not scramble transmissions using the proprietary RNTI. Accordingly, the base station may receive one or more uplink messages and may attempt to decode the messages using any proprietary RNTI and C-RNTI corresponding to the UE. In some cases, the base station may determine that one or more of the uplink messages are proprietary if the message(s) are decodable using the corresponding proprietary RNTI. The base station may respond to one or more private messages with private downlink transmissions.

[0085] Aspects of the present disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communication systems. Aspects of the present disclosure are provided by proprietary downlink and uplink communications, resource schedule, process, process flow diagrams, device diagrams, system diagrams and flow diagrams related to support of proprietary features in wireless communication networks.

In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some cases, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (eg, mission-critical) communications, low-latency communications, or communications with low cost and low complexity devices.

[0087] Base stations 105 may communicate wirelessly with UEs 115 via one or more base station antennas.

The wireless communication system 100 may include different types of base stations 105 (eg, macro or small cell base stations). The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of base stations 105 and network equipment, including macro eNBs, small cell eNBs, gNBs, relay base stations, and the like.

[0088] Each base station 105 may be associated with a particular geographic coverage area 110 in which communication with various UEs 115 is supported. Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage for a respective geographic coverage area 110 via communication links 125 , and the communication links 125 between the base station 105 and the UE 115 are One or more carriers may be used. The communication links 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include uplink transmissions from a UE 115 to a base station 105 or downlink transmissions from a base station 105 to a UE 115 . . Downlink transmissions may also be referred to as forward link transmissions, while uplink transmissions may also be referred to as reverse link transmissions.

[0089] A geographic coverage area 110 for a base station 105 may be divided into sectors that make up a portion of the geographic coverage area 110 , and each sector may be associated with a cell. For example, each base station 105 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a small cell, a hotspot, or other types of cells, or various combinations thereof. In some examples, the base station 105 may be mobile and thus may provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area 110 . In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, and overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be overlapped by the same base station 105 or with each other. It may be supported by other base stations 105 . The wireless communication system 100 may employ, for example, a heterogeneous LTE/LTE-A/LTE-A Pro or NR network in which different types of base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 . may include

[0090] The term “cell” refers to a logical communication entity used for communication with a base station 105 (eg, via a carrier wave), and neighboring cells (eg, a physical cell identifier (PCID) operating on the same or different carriers). ), may be associated with an identifier for distinguishing a virtual cell identifier (VCID). In some examples, a carrier wave can support multiple cells, and different protocol types (eg, machine-type communication (MTC), narrowband Internet (NB-IoT), which can provide access to different types of devices) -of-Things), different cells may be configured according to eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband), etc.). In some cases, the term “cell” may refer to a portion of a geographic coverage area 110 (eg, a sector) in which a logical entity operates.

[0091] The UEs 115 may be distributed throughout the wireless communication system 100 , and each UE 115 may be stationary or mobile. UE 115 may also be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or any other suitable terminology, where “device” may also be referred to as a unit, station, terminal, or client. can UE 115 may also be a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may also mean a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device or MTC device, etc., which include appliances, vehicles, It can be implemented in various products such as instruments and the like.

[0092] Some UEs 115, such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low cost or low complexity devices and may provide automated communication between machines (eg, via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication). have. M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with each other or with the base station 105 without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC integrates sensors or instruments to measure or capture information, present the information to people interacting with the program or application, or use the information to a central server or application program that may use the information. communications from devices that relay Some UEs 115 may be designed to gather information or enable automated behavior of machines. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, health care monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based business includes charges.

[0093] Some UEs 115 may be configured to use modes of operation that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communications (eg, a mode that supports one-way communication via transmit and receive, but not simultaneously transmit and receive). . In some examples, half-duplex communications may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for UEs 115 include entering a power saving “deep sleep” mode when not participating in active communications, or operating over a limited bandwidth (eg, according to narrowband communications). do. In some cases, UEs 115 may be designed to support critical functions (eg, mission critical functions), and wireless communication system 100 may be configured to provide super-reliable communications for these functions. can

[0094] In some cases, a UE 115 may also be capable of communicating directly with other UEs 115 (eg, using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or device-to-device (D2D) protocol). . One or more of a group of UEs 115 using D2D communications may be within a geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105 . Other UEs 115 in this group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105 , or otherwise not capable of receiving transmissions from the base station 105 . In some cases, groups of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to every other UE 115 in the group. have. In some cases, the base station 105 enables scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are performed between UEs 115 without intervention of base station 105 .

[0095] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130 and with each other. For example, base stations 105 may interface with core network 130 via backhaul links 132 (eg, via S1 , N2, N3 or other interface). Base stations 105 may connect directly (eg, directly between base stations 105 ) or indirectly (eg, core network 130 ) via backhaul links 134 (eg, via X2, Xn, or other interface). through) can communicate with each other.

[0096] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing or mobility functions. The core network 130 is evolved (EPC) that may include at least one mobility management entity (MME), at least one serving gateway (S-GW), and at least one Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW). packet core). The MME may manage non-access layer (eg, control plane) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with the EPC. User IP packets may be sent through the S-GW, and the S-GW itself may be connected to the P-GW. The P-GW may provide IP address assignment as well as other functions. The P-GW may be connected to network operator IP services. Carrier IP services may include access to the Internet, intranet(s), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) or Packet-Switched (PS) streaming service.

[0097] At least some of the network devices, such as the base station 105, may include sub-components such as an access network entity, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity may communicate with the UEs 115 via a number of other access network transmitting entities, which may be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, or a transmission/reception point (TRP). In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity or base station 105 are distributed across various network devices (eg, radio heads and access network controllers) or a single network device (eg, base station 105 ). can be integrated into

[0098] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically within the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). In general, the wavelengths are on the order of 1 decimeter to 1 meter in length, so the region of 300 MHz to 3 GHz may also be known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features. However, the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for the macro cell to service UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves has smaller antennas and shorter range (e.g., smaller antennas) compared to transmission using smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz. less than 100 km).

[0099] The wireless communication system 100 may also operate in the super high frequency (SHF) region using frequency bands from 3 GHz to 30 GHz, also known as the centimeter band. The SHF region includes bands such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands, which may be used opportunistically by devices that may be able to withstand interference from other users.

[0100] The wireless communication system 100 may also operate in the extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum (eg, 30 GHz to 300 GHz), also known as the millimeter band. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 , wherein the EHF antennas of each device are much smaller and closer than the UHF antennas. can be spaced apart. In some cases, this may enable the use of antenna arrays within the UE 115 . However, propagation of EHF transmissions may be subject to much greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter range than SHF or UHF transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein may be used across transmissions using one or more different frequency regions, and the designated use of bands across these frequency regions may vary from country to country or regulatory body.

[0101] In some cases, the wireless communication system 100 may use both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may use License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as a 5 GHz ISM band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, wireless devices such as base stations 105 and UEs 115 use a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to ensure that the frequency channel is clear before transmitting data. are available In some cases, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration with component carriers operating in a licensed band (eg, LAA). Operations in the unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, peer-to-peer transmissions, or a combination thereof. Duplexing in unlicensed spectrum may be based on frequency division duplexing (FDD), time division duplexing (TDD), or a combination of the two.

[0102] In some examples, the base station 105 or UE 115 is equipped with multiple antennas that may be used to utilize techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. can be For example, the wireless communication system 100 may use a transmission scheme between a transmitting device (eg, base station 105 ) and a receiving device (eg, UE 115 ), wherein the transmitting device is equipped with multiple antennas and The receiving device is equipped with one or more antennas. MIMO communications may use multipath signal propagation to increase spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals over different spatial layers, which may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. Multiple signals may be transmitted via different antennas or different combinations of antennas, for example, by a transmitting device. Likewise, multiple signals may be received via different antennas or different combinations of antennas, for example, by a receiving device. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (eg, the same codeword) or different data streams. Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0103] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is at a transmitting device or receiving device (eg, base station 105 or UE 115 ), an antenna beam along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. A signal processing technique that can be used to shape or steer (eg, a transmit beam or a receive beam). Beamforming may be accomplished by combining signals propagating through the antenna elements of the antenna array such that signals propagating in a particular direction with respect to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Coordination of signals propagated through the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying particular amplitude and phase offsets to signals transmitted through each of the antenna elements associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be dictated by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular orientation (eg, relative to an antenna array of a transmitting device or a receiving device, or in some other direction).

[0104] In one example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays to perform beamforming operations for directional communications with the UE 115 . For example, some signals (eg, synchronization signals, reference signals, beam select signals or other control signals) may be transmitted multiple times in different directions by the base station 105 , which may be transmitted in different transmission directions. and a signal transmitted according to different sets of beamforming weights associated with them. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify a beam direction (eg, by base station 105 or a receiving device, such as UE 115 ) for subsequent transmission and/or reception by base station 105 . have.

[0105] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by the base station 105 in a single beam direction (eg, a direction associated with a receiving device, such as UE 115 ). In some examples, a beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based at least in part on a signal transmitted in different beam directions. For example, the UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals transmitted in different directions by the base station 105 , and the UE 115 may determine that it has the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality. An indication of the received signal may be reported to the base station 105 . While these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted in one or more directions by a base station 105 , the UE 115 transmits the signals multiple times in different directions (eg, subsequent by the UE 115 ). Similar techniques may be used to identify a beam direction for transmission or reception) or to transmit a signal in a single direction (eg, to transmit data to a receiving device).

[0106] A receiving device (eg, UE 115 , which may be an example of a mmW receiving device) receives multiple signals from base station 105 such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals or other control signals. of receive beams can be tried. For example, a receiving device may receive via different antenna subarrays, thereby processing the received signals according to different antenna subarrays, thereby applying different signals received at a plurality of antenna elements of the antenna array. by receiving according to receive beamforming weight sets, or by processing the received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at a plurality of antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which are mutually exclusive May be referred to as “listening” according to different receive beams or receive directions—multiple receive directions may be attempted. In some examples, the receiving device may receive along a single beam direction using a single receive beam (eg, when receiving a data signal). A single receive beam may be directed to different receive beam directions (eg, a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio, or other acceptable signal quality, based at least in part on listening along multiple beam directions). and the beam direction determined based at least in part on listening.

[0107] In some cases, the antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays capable of supporting MIMO operations, or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be collocated in an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some cases, antennas or antenna arrays associated with base station 105 may be located in various geographic locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array having multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with the UE 115 . Likewise, UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays capable of supporting various MIMO or beamforming operations.

[0108] In some cases, the wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP based. A Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate over logical channels. A MAC (Medium Access Control) layer may perform priority processing and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) to provide retransmission at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer provides the establishment, configuration and maintenance of an RRC connection between the UE 115 and the core network 130 or base station 105 supporting radio bearers for user plane data. can do. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

[0109] In some cases, UEs 115 and base stations 105 may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that the data will be successfully received. HARQ feedback is one technique that increases the likelihood that data is correctly received over the communication link 125 . HARQ may include a combination of error detection (eg, using cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (eg, automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in harsh radio conditions (eg, signal-to-noise conditions). In some cases, a wireless device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a particular slot for data received in a previous symbol of the slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot or according to some other time interval.

[0110] Time intervals in LTE or NR may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit, which may mean _{, for example, a sampling period of T s = 1/30,720,000 seconds.} Time intervals of the communication resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a duration of 10 milliseconds (ms), and the frame period may be expressed as _{T f} =307,200T _s. Radio frames may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) ranging from 0 to 1023. Each frame may include 10 subframes numbered 0-9, and each subframe may have a duration of 1 ms. The subframe may be further divided into two slots each having a duration of 0.5 ms, each slot having 6 or 7 modulations (eg, depending on the length of the periodic prefix appended to each symbol period). It may include symbol periods. Excluding the periodic prefix, each symbol period may include 2048 sampling periods. In some cases, a subframe may be a minimum scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In other cases, the minimum scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be shorter than a subframe or to be dynamically selected (eg, in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs) or in selected component carriers using sTTIs). can

[0111] In some wireless communication systems, a slot may be further divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. In some cases, a symbol of a mini-slot or a mini-slot may be the smallest unit of scheduling. Each symbol may have a different duration depending on, for example, a subcarrier interval or an operating frequency band. Also, some wireless communication systems may implement slot aggregation in which multiple slots or mini-slots are aggregated together and used for communication between the UE 115 and the base station 105 .

[0112] The term “carrier” refers to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting communications over communication link 125 . For example, the carrier wave of communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band that operates according to physical layer channels for a given radio access technology. Each physical layer channel may carry user data, control information, or other signaling. The carrier may be associated with a predetermined frequency channel (eg, evolved universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) absolute radio frequency channel number (EARFCN))), and is stored in a channel raster for discovery by UEs 115 . can be positioned accordingly. Carriers may be downlink or uplink (eg, in FDD mode) or configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (eg, in TDD mode). In some examples, signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier are multiple (eg, using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)) may be composed of subcarriers of

[0113] The organizational structure of carriers may be different for different radio access technologies (eg, LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). For example, communications over a carrier may be organized according to TTIs or slots, each of which may include user data as well as control information or signaling to support decoding of user data. The carrier may also include dedicated acquisition signaling (eg, synchronization signals or system information, etc.) and control signaling that coordinates operation on the carrier. In some examples (eg, in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have control signaling or acquisition signaling that coordinates operations for other carriers.

[0114] A physical channel may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. The physical control channel and the physical data channel may be multiplexed on the downlink carrier using, for example, time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. In some examples, the control information transmitted in the physical control channel is cascaded between different control regions (eg, between a common control region or common search space and one or more UE-specific control regions or UE-specific search spaces). can be distributed.

[0115] A carrier wave may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples the carrier wave bandwidth may be referred to as a carrier wave or “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100 . For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a number of predetermined bandwidths (eg, 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 or 80 MHz) for carriers of a particular radio access technology. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate over portions or all of a carrier bandwidth. In other examples, some UEs 115 use a narrowband protocol type (eg, an “in-band” deployment of the narrowband protocol type) associated with a predetermined portion or range within a carrier (eg, a set of subcarriers or RBs). It can be configured for the action

[0116] In a system using MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (eg, the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely proportional. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (eg, the order of the modulation scheme). Accordingly, the more resource elements the UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate for the UE 115 may be. In MIMO systems, a wireless communication resource may refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (eg, spatial layers), and the use of multiple spatial layers is data for communications with the UE 115 . The rate can be further increased.

[0117] Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (eg, base stations 105 or UEs 115 ) may have a hardware configuration that supports communications over a particular carrier bandwidth, or may use one of a set of carrier bandwidths. may be configurable to support communications via In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include base stations 105 and/or UEs 115 that support simultaneous communication on carriers associated with more than one different carrier bandwidth.

[0118] The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with a UE 115 on multiple cells or carriers, a feature that may be referred to as carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. The UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to the carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation can be used for both FDD and TDD component carriers.

[0119] In some cases, the wireless communication system 100 may use enhanced component carriers (eCCs). An eCC may be characterized by one or more characteristics including a wider carrier or frequency channel bandwidth, a shorter symbol duration, a shorter TTI duration, or a modified control channel configuration. (eg, where multiple serving cells have sub-optimal or non-ideal backhaul links) may be associated with a dual connectivity configuration. The eCC may also be configured for use in unlicensed spectrum or shared spectrum (eg, where more than one operator is permitted to use the spectrum). An eCC characterized as a wide carrier bandwidth is one or more segments that may be used by UEs 115 that are unable to monitor the full carrier bandwidth or otherwise configured to use a limited carrier bandwidth (eg, to conserve power). may include

[0120] In some cases, the eCC may use a different symbol duration than other component carriers, which may include the use of a reduced symbol duration compared to the symbol durations of other component carriers. A shorter symbol duration may be associated with an increased spacing between adjacent subcarriers. A device using eCCs, such as a UE 115 or a base station 105 , may be configured to respond to frequency channel or carrier bandwidths (eg, 20, 40, 60, 80 MHz, etc.) with reduced symbol durations (eg, 16.67 microseconds). Accordingly, wideband signals can be transmitted. The TTI of an eCC may consist of one or multiple symbol periods. In some cases, the TTI duration (ie, the number of symbol periods within the TTI) may be variable.

[0121] The wireless communication system 100 may be, inter alia, an NR system capable of using any combination of licensed, shared, and unlicensed spectrum bands. The flexibility of eCC symbol duration and subcarrier spacing may enable the use of eCC across multiple spectra. In some examples, NR shared spectrum can improve spectrum utilization and spectral efficiency, specifically through dynamic vertical (eg, across frequency domain) and horizontal (eg, across time domain) sharing of resources.

[0122] In some wireless communication networks (eg, NR networks), wireless devices may be configured to support communications according to a wireless communication standard (eg, 3GPP or other wireless communication standard). Additionally, one or more devices (eg, UE 115 and base station 105 ) may be configured to support communications according to a communications service that includes one or more proprietary features.

[0123] For example, base station 105 , UE 115 , or any other aspect of a wireless communication network may support a communication standard such as NR (eg, a standard network), and may support one or more communication services including proprietary features. Additional support may be provided. In some cases, each communication service supported, or network resources allocated thereto (eg, dedicated to or otherwise available to it), may be referred to as a network slice. A wireless communication system may include any number of network slices corresponding to any number of communication services. A communication service may correspond to one network slice, or may correspond to multiple different network slices. Additionally, the proprietary feature of the communication service may maintain compatibility with a standard network (eg, two services may be used in parallel) to use network functions and build standard network features. A feature may be proprietary, but aspects of a wireless communication service related to support of proprietary features may be standardized (eg, a standard provides a platform for use of proprietary features in addition to standardized features or otherwise provides a proprietary feature) may specify one or more functions that enable their use).

[0124] For example, a communication service that includes proprietary features may support one or more usage aspects, such as data streaming, MTC applications (eg, autonomous driving, manufacturing), preferential data traffic to a website, and the like. In some cases, features of a communication service may enable implementation of the feature or service to be deployed more quickly than a standards-based service or feature. Additionally, communication services that include proprietary features may target and achieve quality of service (QoS), such as data throughput rate or reliability, which may differ from standard communication services. As an example, a communication service including proprietary features may be company specific, where the company may target a specific use case or QoS with the communication service. For example, a company that maintains a website may target a reliability goal using a communication service that includes proprietary features (eg, such that data to and from the website is not dropped). In another example, corporate streaming data (eg, video, music, etc.) is a specific combination of throughput and reliability using a communication service that includes proprietary features (eg, such that the data stream meets a set quality and speed for an end user). can be aimed at

[0125] In one example, a company may maintain a private network of interconnected devices using a communication service that includes proprietary features. In some cases, such a company may be a manufacturing company (eg, using industrial IoT devices, using interconnected devices for industrial control, etc.). Accordingly, interconnected devices (eg, UEs 115 ) that communicate using a communication service may include robots, sensors, etc. that may be used to automate production and prevent accidents. It should be understood that these and other examples, including specific use cases, are not limiting. Other use cases are possible, and aspects described in connection with one use case may be combined with one or more other use cases.

[0126] Base station 105 and UE 115 may communicate using both standard communications and proprietary features (eg, proprietary communications). Accordingly, the base station 105 and the UE 115 may implement methods for identifying and responding to proprietary characteristics. For example, the base station 105 and the UE 115 may establish communications using a standard network, and the UE 115 may indicate that the UE 115 supports one or more communication services and corresponding proprietary features. to the base station 105 (eg, via standard communications). In some cases, base station 105 may assign and transmit a proprietary RNTI (eg, PF-RNTI) to UE 115 (eg, via standard communications). Following successful assignment of the proprietary RNTI, the base station 105 and the UE 115 may use the proprietary RNTI to scramble and/or decode proprietary characteristics (eg, proprietary data or control messages). Accordingly, the UE 115 or the base station 105 may determine that the message has a proprietary content and/or format if the message is based on a proprietary RNTI, and the base station 105 or UE 115 sends a similar proprietary message. can respond

[0127] In some cases, the base station 105 may transmit a downlink grant to the UE 115 (eg, via DCI or via an SPS grant), where the grant may in some cases be addressed to a proprietary RNTI and , may indicate a set of resources to be used for proprietary downlink messages. Accordingly, the UE 115 may decide to receive proprietary downlink messages on the indicated grant and may decode the messages using the proprietary RNTI. In some cases, the base station 105 may indicate a set of designated uplink control resources that the UE 115 may use to request an uplink resource grant for proprietary uplink messages. The UE 115 may decide to transmit an uplink resource request on designated resources using the proprietary RNTI, and the base station 105 may decide to transmit the uplink resource request on the designated resources (eg, including the request) using the proprietary RNTI. You may decide to decode the message. Accordingly, the base station 105 may respond with an uplink grant addressed to the UE 115's proprietary RNTI, and the UE 115 may use the uplink grant to transmit one or more proprietary uplink messages. In some cases, the UE 115 may transmit the uplink grant request using standard resources (eg, scrambled with a non-private RNTI), and the base station may transmit the uplink grant request (eg, addressed with a non-private RNTI) on a standard uplink (eg, addressed with a non-private RNTI). You can respond with a grant. In some examples, UE 115 may transmit one or more uplink messages that are proprietary messages (eg, scrambled with a proprietary RNTI) on the grant.

[0128] 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports proprietary features in wireless communication networks, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100 , and UE 115 - a may be examples of UE 115 and base station 105 described with reference to FIG. 1 . ) and a base station 105 - a. In some cases, the UE 115 - a and the base station 105 - a may establish a communication link over a standard network, exchange information regarding proprietary characteristics and associated communication services, and initiate communications. can

[0129] For example, the UE 115 - a may transmit the proprietary characteristic indication 215 to the base station 105 - a as part of standard uplink communications 205 . Upon receiving the proprietary feature indication 215 , the base station 105 - a may assign a unique proprietary RNTI to the UE 115 - a to use when communicating using the proprietary features. In some cases, the base station 105 - a communicates with the UE 115 - a via a proprietary RNTI message 220 (eg, via dedicated RRC signaling) that is sent via standard downlink communications 210 . can be assigned. In some examples, the base station 105 - a may assign a proprietary RNTI to the UE 115 - a for each communication service associated with the UE 115 - a that includes proprietary features (eg, the base station 115 - a). (105 - a may assign more than one private RNTI to UE 115 - a). In some cases, the proprietary RNTI may be unique among all UEs 115 using the same communication services or may be unique among all UEs 115 in a network. Following the exchange of proprietary feature information and proprietary RNTI information, base station 105 - a and UE 115 - a may communicate using proprietary communications 230 .

[0130] In some cases, the proprietary feature indication 215 may be a direct indication (eg, via a capability reporting feature) of one or more proprietary features supported by the capabilities of the UE 115 - a. Additionally or alternatively, the proprietary feature indication 215 may include a UE ID (eg, UE-ID) that the base station 105 - a may use to look up one or more proprietary features supported by the UE 115 - a . or any other ID unique to the UE 115 - a). Accordingly, the proprietary characteristic indication 215 may be or be included in any message including the UE-ID, such as a random access message, a handover message, or other type of message. In some examples, the base station 105 - a may access a list of proprietary features supported by all UEs 115 in the defined network (eg, all UEs within a physical location or all UEs associated with the same owner). and the base station 105 - a may use this list to look up features supported by the UE 115 - a. For example, a manufacturer may use a group of UEs 115 for manufacturing purposes, and may maintain a list of the group of UEs 115 and corresponding proprietary features, where the list accesses the base station 105 . It may be possible. In some cases, the UE 115 - a may transmit the proprietary feature indication 215 via RRC signaling (eg, after establishing a communication link with the base station 105 - a).

[0131] When communicating using proprietary communications 230 , base station 105 - a assigns proprietary DCI to UE 115 (eg, via PDCCH) by addressing a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to a corresponding assigned, proprietary RNTI. -a) can be sent. Additionally or alternatively, the base station 105 - a may transmit proprietary MAC CEs or RRC messages to the UE 115 - a via proprietary communications 230 , where the MAC CEs or RRC messages correspond to may be addressed to an assigned private RNTI. In some cases, either or both of the format and content of DCI, MAC CEs and/or RRC messages may be proprietary. Additionally, the base station 105 - a may transmit proprietary downlink communications (eg, MAC CEs or RRC messages) to the UE 115 - a via dynamically allocated resources or via SPS resources. . When receiving messages over SPS resources allocated to a communication service that includes proprietary features, the UE 115 - a may be configured not to expect to receive proprietary messages that do not use the corresponding proprietary RNTI.

[0132] In some examples of proprietary communications 230 , base station 105 - a responds to a proprietary scheduling request (eg, request for proprietary MAC CEs) or other type of proprietary UCI sent by UE 115 - a . Designated physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources (eg, time resources, frequency resources, code resources, etc.) may be monitored. In some examples, either or both of the scheduling request or the format and content of the UCI can be the reason. In some cases, the UE 115 - a may transmit a proprietary scheduling request or a proprietary UCI on the designated PUCCH resources, and the base station 105 - a may receive information on the designated PUCCH resources, and the base station ( 105 - a) may provide an uplink grant addressed to a corresponding proprietary RNTI, and the UE 115 - a may provide proprietary messages scrambled by the corresponding proprietary RNTI (eg, MAC CEs or RRC messages). can be sent. When allocating the uplink grant to the UE 115 - a, the base station 105 - a may configure either a Type-1 or Type-2 grant, where the base station 105 - a uses the grant. to specify that the UE 115 - a uses the corresponding proprietary RNTI when transmitting.

[0133] Additionally or alternatively, the base station 105 - a may monitor standard PUCCH resources for a proprietary scheduling request from the UE 115 - a. In some cases, the UE 115 - a may transmit the scheduling request using standard PUCCH resources, and the base station 105 - a (eg, addressed to the C-RNTI of the UE 115 - a). Standard DCI can be used to respond with an assigned uplink grant. Upon receipt of the uplink grant, the UE 115 - a may scramble any proprietary messages associated with the grant into a corresponding proprietary RNTI. In some examples, UE 115 - a may include standard messages in an uplink grant, which UE 115 - a may scramble these standard messages using C-RNTI. Upon receiving the uplink messages, the base station 105 - a uses, via a blind decoding process, each of the RNTIs assigned to the UE 115 - a (eg, a C-RNTI and one or more proprietary RNTIs) to block a transport block. may try to decode the messages in Accordingly, the base station 105 - a may determine that the message is a private message, and may determine which proprietary characteristic the message may correspond to based on the RNTI from which it can successfully decode the message. Thus, the base station 105 - a can determine which of the proprietary messages to parse or process based on the results of decoding.
